Our family is complete......

Now that we are having a little baby GIRL!!!!!!  On Wednesday, May 16th, Trent and I sat patiently waiting for the sonogram tech to tell us we were having a little girl.  I have to admit that I was a little shocked as I was sure I was having another boy.  Now that it is sunk in, I wouldn't have it any other way and am enjoying looking at the cute, little clothes already!  Trent's first reaction, "So, does this mean I have to pay for a wedding??"  Yes sir, it does!  He, too, is excited about his first daughter.

21 weeks

Remember the last time Trent and I had Chinese take-out?  Our fortune cookie said that we would be getting a nice surprise.....we soon found out we were pregnant.  Last week we, again, ordered Chinese.  Look what our fortune cookies said!

"A small gift can bring joy to the whole family." (baby girl)

 Trent opened it, and it said..."daughter!"  This is no lie, folks!

 Back-tracking!  Brooks turned 2 on April 22nd.  He has grown so much in the past 6 months.  We love hearing his little voice and the language emerge.  He now can answer questions, ask questions and form full sentences......cliche, I know, but it is so fun watching these little ones explore and learn new things daily. I just love him!

 Even at 2 years old, we still carry "uh-oh" with us everywhere.  

Happy Easter!!!

Keeping with tradition....Brooks is sick on yet another holiday. Christmas Day and now Easter...poor baby!

And this is how we ended the day.....103* temp. (He is NEVER this still!)

Pitiful

Between doses of Tylenol, he watched the Masters with his attire on, of course!

Before the storm hit.....we enjoyed brunch on the golf course (what did you expect!)

Successful egg hunt outside. However, once he realized there was candy in some of the eggs, we spent most of the time eating instead of hunting.

Easter breakfast while watching Thomas the Train

Easter basket fun

Dying eggs.....they all turned out brown as he dipped the eggs in EVERY color!

Easter parade and egg hunt at school

Man on a mission

In line for the parade.....yea right, good luck with that one!

Rounding the corner!

Now begins the annoying posts.....

Since I posted each and every step of Brooks' pregnancy, I have to do the same for Baby Booher #2, right?

Brooks the size of a lime!

Baby #2 the size of a lime.....12 weeks.

Yes, I will come up with a nickname for this baby once we find out the gender (first week of May).

It all started.....

on January 19th when we decided to order Chinese takeout. Below was my fortune in my cookie....

"Happy news is on its way to you." I knew it!!!!!

And just like my fortune said, on January 23rd we found out that Brooks is expecting a sibling! Yep, those things DO mean something! Baby Booher #2 is due October 4th (great people are born on October 4, by the way!)

Brooks playing "horsee" on Jake

Giddy-up (is that one word?)

Chucky Cheese

Making (well, should I say eating) cookies at Layton's birthday

A day in the life of a toddler: We started out Saturday morning with Brooks clamping his upper lip in the curling iron (it wasn't hot!). We then went to park where Brooks took off his shoes with his feet planted IN AN ANT BED. Thirty+ ant bites later and we luckily still have our feet! Then, we get home for a much needed nap. Brooks wakes up, finds the coffee pot, fills with water from the bath faucet and pours all over our sweet Sam (in the house, of course). IT'S LIKE THIS EVERYDAY FOLKS.

Now, we go EVERYWHERE with the coffee pot mentioned above. Asleep in the car with "uh oh" in place and still holding the coffee pot.

Not a good depiction of the ant bites, but it'll work.

I caved and we now have sand everywhere. He manages to throw sand all over the porch. Bad, bad idea.

"What's up, Momma?"

Ready to go. Sunglasses....check. Dust buster....check. Watch out world!

Allow me to introduce myself....

AGAIN!!!! I think it's been close to 2 months since I have updated our blog....ooops! Mr. Brooks is entering the terrible two's (same 'ole stuff......tantrums, "no no," "mine," tantrums and tantrums). Even with all the bad stuff, we love this little guy more and more each day. His language seems to improve daily, which keeps us more aware of EVERYTHING we say! Yesterday, Trent repeated a commercial that said the word "stupid." Brooks immediately remarks, "STUPID." He is linking more words that come out as incomplete sentences. EXAMPLE: We had a period of time when Brooks would have frequent "accidents" in the tub. Trent and I pulled him out one night, sat him down and repeated "no poo poo in the bathtub!" Since, we have had NO accidents but anytime someone mentions bathtub or he sees one, he immediately says, "no poo poo in bathtub."

First cotton candy at "Elmo Live"

Thank goodness we had an aisle seat. He needed it as he constantly danced and yelled, "more" at the stage!

Bronco and Brooks eating chips and dip and watching football. Jonathan drives a Chevy truck and anytime his name is mentioned, Brooks says, "Bronco big truck."

Meeting Gina for the first time in Dallas......yes, I drove with him by myself to Dallas. Not the most pleasant experience. Think I'll fly from now on!

Dallas girls.......both pregnant! Jenny just had Hallie Ryann on 2/15/12. Can't wait to get back to Dallas to see the little squirt.

We stayed with Megan and Chase. Not yet at the stage where they play together....more like fight over toys! So weird to think that not too long ago we were crazy college girls and now have our sons bathing together. Weird

What? You aren't supposed to stand in sand boxes?

Discovered the computer and wants it ALL the time

His first Valentine's box for school. When I picked him up, he showed by his box, put it on the ground and kicked it. Guess he is not much of a romantic!

Finger painting activity. I learned my lesson....NEVER AGAIN IN THE HOUSE. Look carefully at the shutters. See the pain splatters? Imagine that all over the walls and small piece of furniture behind him. Sure was fun though!
